I really dislike it. Most of the games I've played on it have crushed blacks or the look of it because I only have an SDR display.
How does the Series X fair in this? It has some HDR enforcement too but works better, right?All you can do is entirely disable HDR output in the PS5 video options. It doesn't require a game restart at least.

But it does I notticed it on some games mostly bc (battlefield 5) but also some new like wrc9 tough on recent games I don't have problems. Interestingly Vincent from hdtv prise more ps5 for proper black levels representation and said xsx has elevated blacks and is more washed up.Sorry but a properly set up PS5 and TV shouldn’t have crushed blacks. .
Expensive OLED panels have been the only way for it to have its full effect. There are some cheaper TVs that do it pretty well now. I think it is fun to see but not worth big money. There are also some things you need to think about like it can be irritating for the eyes and you really need a pitch black environment. Sometimes compressed dynamic range is actually more enjoyable.i don't know if my TV sucks at HDR, or if badly calibrated, but i don't like the look of HDR in games, so i just turned it of in the system menu of the console.
1 hour job by one new developer at insomniac (so he clearly didn't know the game code) to do that 60fps patch.More 60fps improvement goodness for ps5. It's really nice to see old games get upgraded for new consoles. I wonder if one downloads the free ps4 version now would it be patched to 60fps in april? i.e. is sony giving free games and even improving them?

Are you sure, what is your source? Just testing the game after changing #define tick 1.0/30.0 to #define tick 1.0/60.0 in some c file would require retesting the whole game to find out if there are glitches/bugs introduced. QA process alone would probably take tens of hours for one iteration of game. It's not like QA would just start the game, quit and claim victory. QA would try to break the game in various ways along the way.
From my POV sony is doing commendable things when patching up old games and releasing them for free for everyone. It's not that long ago we were discussing 60fps is dead in consoles, let's live with 30fps. It's also not so long time ago many people thought sony doesn't care at all about bc and back catalogue.

Wait it's a free update for 4K CBR running at 60fps on PS5? How generous of them to give us the 1.0 disc version already QA tested since years ago.The God of War (2018) Enhanced Performance Experience for the PS5 is coming tomorrow!
Syncs to 60 FPS
4K Checkerboard Resolution
2160p
Free Update for PS5 Users
maybe insomniac can borrow this guy for one hour to naughty dog ? edit: btw it was a joke, guy they hired is community manager ;d
Maybe in some cases when the games were hard coded at 30fps (like Horizon or Bloodborne) those long hours of tests would be justified (but we haven't seen any of those patches for those games yet). BTW one guy actually patched bloodborne to run at 60fps without the source code just half guessing / working on the binaries by comparing with DS3 binaries. True story.
I think there aren't 60fps patches because the devs don't care and there is clearly not a will from the current boss to patch those "they look ancient, why would anybody play this" old games.
So right in february 2021 (after 1 or 2 years-ish of hard work from them owning PS5 devkits) they finally patched God of War 2018 with a 4K + 60fps patch for PS5. Impressive work.

And what about The last guardian, same thing, the 1.0 is already QA tested for 60fps gameplay (and runs perfectly on PS5), where is the patch?

Yup, it's never this easy even just to simply rebuild without any changes. They now have to target the latest PS4 firmware, chances are a bunch of their middleware needs to be updated and a bunch of code unrelated to rendering has to be updated as well.Are you sure, what is your source?

I have IPS panel in my bedroom to watch Al bundy, but lg oled in living room is something else.Expensive OLED panels have been the only way for it to have its full effect. There are some cheaper TVs that do it pretty well now. I think it is fun to see but not worth big money. There are also some things you need to think about like it can be irritating for the eyes and you really need a pitch black environment. Sometimes compressed dynamic range is actually more enjoyable.
